The conspiracy goes deeper than you realise. The larger distros have adopted a cynical policy of "mainline convergence" to further their secret agenda of preventing Con's and Nigel's code from reaching the very people who need it most and keeping Linus king of the heap. If you want a picture of the future of Linux, imagine a boot stomping on a human face, forever.

No, the problem I have is that Andrew and Linus have stated flat out that they don't want to merge another implementation of Suspend to disk, but at the same time Andrew at least is jumping up and down over kexec based hibernation as if it's going to be the panacea. He's almost ready to merge the first patch that appears that's remotely a step towards the idea. That's what's getting to me.
Heh. I assume that's tongue in cheek. Distros seeking to get closer to mainline isn't at all the problem. It would be nice if they picked up our patches, but it's perfectly understandable that they should want to minimise the work involved in maintaining their kernels - I'm seeking to do that too.Interview with Con Kolivas (APC)
